The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

However, Yong Lu and Yong Yan did not stay in the temple of Prince Xian's residence at the first time.

On the eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival, a white rainbow appeared in the sky in the capital, and the hearts of the people in the capital were fluctuating. The emperor canceled the two-year-old Qiu Mi trip for this reason. , Repeated calculations for the benefit of mother and child are contrary to human relations and heaven.

"A white rainbow all over the sun is a bad omen, and the Pope must not go out of the city to take risks at such a juncture!" Han Ling instructed Concubine Ling, "Let's put aside the things we discussed before, and after two months, teach Qin Tianjian Make an auspicious day and come out and talk about it!"

"Yes!" The imperial concubine Ling didn't quite believe that the empress would be aimless, "The emperor has to work for the master to explain."

"Concubine Ling, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Xin!" Han Ling helped Cheng Shuang to stand up, "From now on, you must pay attention to the selection of candidates for the princess' forehead. If the emperor thinks it is suitable, he will naturally pay attention to it. This is related to the princess' life If you dare to be contemptuous and hasty about important matters, I will definitely not stand by and watch!"

"The concubine (concubine) respectfully obeys the imperial edict of the empress!" The subject was shifted, and the concubine began to worry about her daughter's marriage. She and concubine Xin had the same concerns: if they were not raised in front of them, they were their own flesh and blood. If they were named and caressed But what to do.

Cheng Shuang complained to Han Ling, "Why did you bother to come here! If you have good intentions, you may not be able to appreciate them. How much effort did you spend in recuperating the body of King Jingjun back then? Now? What's going on outside? Talk to you! This matter is not over yet, and you are trying to find strength on the fifteenth elder brother, who will take care of you? According to the servant, you might as well care more about our Beijun King and Shi Gege with this time. , lest the two ends fail to settle, and suffer complaints for nothing!"

"The child didn't recruit me, so what are you talking about?" Han Ling sighed, "I'm not only doing it for Yong Yan, after all, it's also about Yong Lu's future!"

Cheng Shuang didn't take it seriously: "Master, don't blame me for speaking harshly, as it is now, the imperial concubine can still do her duty. Although the fourteenth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother are twins, standing together now, apart from their stature The fourteenth elder brother is three points more like the fifteenth elder brother than the fifteenth elder brother. If the lama is to change his fate, the twins will become prosperous, and he really has two princes to support him!"

"I didn't believe this at first, but the past two years have not been very smooth for the emperor. If there is a villain who babbles, wouldn't Yong Lu be wronged?" Han Ling pinched her forehead, "What about a lama and a Taoist? If the late emperor didn't Bewitched by these people, it’s not like—— That’s all! The emperor heard these words, why would he blame me for slandering monks and Taoism!”

After the Longevity Festival, Hongli took the initiative to ask about praying for the two young sons: "Isn't Prince Xian's mansion ready yet?"

Han Ling replied: "The lama has too many ways, why close the door49, copy the scriptures64, recite the Buddha81—half a year has passed in a blink of an eye! Yong Lu Yongyan is just a lively age, so I really want to do that. It’s another matter if it works or not. The pain will never be less. If a lively prince is sent out and a dull novice comes back, which one can the concubine ask for guilt? After two years, they will decide their temperament. talk later!"

Hongli disagreed: "Take this opportunity to sharpen your temper. How many useful things did Yonglu harm? You are used to it!"

The emperor and empress began to bicker, and the empress who advocated it insisted on waiting until the end of the new year; the emperor, who was concerned about life and death, wished he could sell his two sons to Mongolian lamas immediately.

Stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, so the imperial concubine can only compromise: "Praying for the emperor and the queen mother is the duty of the two elder brothers. In the opinion of the ministers and concubines, this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later!"

Concubine Ling is an honest person who was suppressed by the queen, but once an honest person is forced to stand up and resist, it is definitely more lethal than a villain who barks his teeth and claws. These words directly squeezed the face-conscious Emperor Qianlong to the foot of the wall.

Handing the soft knife to him, Hongli could only make a promise in public: "Yonglu and Yongyan are my sons, and I have no reason to wrong them."

Therefore, the reason for Yonglu Yongyan to leave the palace became to pray for the grandmother and the emperor's father.

This is an honor that no prince has ever received.

Han Ling's reaction was also considered timely: "The concubine wants to go with Yong Lu and Yong Yan."

"This is impossible!" Hongli immediately vetoed, "You are elder brother's aunt, how can you ignore your body for them?"

Concubine Ling was sent to the army again: "The concubine is willing to share the worries for the empress."

It was Concubine Qing who rescued the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty, the Empress has already appointed a concubine to go out of the palace to take care of the two elder brothers' daily life. The concubine should do her part and should serve the emperor.

The emperor issued an imperial decree on the spot: "Concubine Qing has been serving Xuanwei for a long time, and Suxian's etiquette rules. From now on, she should provide daily living according to the concubine's rules. All attendants in the palace should obey the orders of Concubine Qing. I admire you!"

Concubine Ling squinted her eyes, and couldn't help but look at Concubine Qing in her heart: this is a smart person, and it should be a foolproof choice to entrust Yongyan to her care.

The notice Yonglu Yongyan received was: Because of the celestial phenomenon of the white rainbow penetrating the sun, two princes must be found to kneel and pray for the empress dowager. Brothers have business to do, and only you two brothers can shoulder this burden. Got up.

Because of this, Yong Lu and Yong Yan gained the sense of value of being "valued".

On the north side of the Fifth Institute is the imperial concubine Ling, and the south three is the empress's earnest teaching. When Han Ling faced Yong Lu, she was more or less indebted: After all, the imperial concubine Ling is his biological mother-in-law. , Now that he wants to kill her fiercely, he will inevitably let down the seven-year mother-child relationship with Yonglu.

Not long after the prince left the palace, in September of the 32nd year of Qianlong, Wu Zhengxiao, the adopted son of the late Wu Lingmei, the eunuch of the Qingyan Palace in Kyushu, wrote a letter to the infantry commander of the yamen, accusing his father of treason in the Yuanmingyuan flood case in the 30th year of Qianlong.

Wu Zhengxiao's accusation was directed at the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and Prince Yongxi of the Clan.

According to Wu Zhengxiao, his adoptive father, Wu Lingmei, had a good relationship with Prince Zong, and was resentful because the Queen of the Kyushu Qingyan Palace refused to be married to food. In the mid-autumn of the 30th year of Qianlong, while Wang was sleepy, he burned the window curtains of the outer hall with his cigarette bag. This caused a catastrophe that endangered the safety of the emperor.

The empress was five years old, and the sick Wu Lingmei was released from the palace because of grace. After half a year, she gradually aged and died of illness. On the day of mourning, a fire broke out in her home. Wu Zhengxiao escaped by chance and found out about the case while collecting relics. Fearing that the case would happen the next day and suffer implicated disasters, Wu Zhengxiao made the first report, hoping that the emperor would punish him lightly.

As soon as the case came out, Manchu was shocked.

Yongxi can only ask for an order, and hopes that before the case is clear, he will be banned from Yuqing Palace, so as not to be suspected of murdering the king and father.

All the relatives, princes, and ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasties all pleaded for orders in righteous indignation, demanding that the emperor thoroughly investigate Wu Lingmei's conspiracy.

Han Ling hurriedly called Prince Jia into the palace, and said something to him: "Yongxi is guilty, as a mother, you can't help it. If you don't investigate, you will become the son of the deposed empress!"

Yong Jue then went to Qianqing Palace to act as a guarantor for his brother. At the same time, he asked the emperor's father to take the lead in investigating the person behind Wu Zhengxiao.

The emperor issued a decree, ordering Prince Kang Yong'en, Pingjun Wang Qingheng, University scholar Fu Heng and the three judicial departments to thoroughly investigate Wu Zhengxiao's report.

The three relatives are all mature and prudent people. Prince Kang and Prince Heping have no personal relationship with Jingren Palace. The two of them may sell Yongxi's favor, but there is no need to bend the law for personal gain. Fu Heng plays the role of supervisor. Now, at least there will be no situations of chasing rumors and malicious frame-ups.

Queen Nala, who has read a lot of poetry and books, is still too optimistic.

Among Wu Lingmei's bequests, some belongings of Yuqing Palace with the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were found.

After interrogation, the doctor who treated Wu Lingmei admitted that Eunuch Wu's condition was very strange. Although his body was slowly weakening, he could not find out the exact symptoms.

The results of Wu Zuo's autopsy confirmed this speculation that Wu Lingmei was indeed poisoned to death.

Lu County Wang Yongxuan, who was a trainee in the Ministry of Punishments, put forward a suggestion for the imperial doctor to test for drugs, and the emperor immediately adopted it, but no results were obtained after all.

Everyone's eyes focused on Empress Nala of Jingren Palace.

Han Ling could only keep silent, not allowing the princes and princesses of Jingren Palace to participate in the trial of the case.

The Palace of Prince He, who was born in September, was completely idled, and Zhan Shi of Yuqing Palace, and the military attache in Beijing who had close contacts with the East Palace were all transferred to varying degrees.

The obedient minister finally came to his senses: the emperor might not believe that the prince of the clan had plotted against his father, but it was an obvious fact that he had a strong fear of the crown prince.

At this time, it can be seen that King Jingjun is indispensable. Without the help of such a fawning heavyweight, it is difficult to effectively ease the conflict between the Qianqing Palace and the East Palace.

"Fulong'an, in your opinion, how much do I rely on as Princess Gulun?" The seventh princess, who is about to give birth, turned her head to look at her husband who was helping her for a walk, "Huang Ama, Er Niang, Wan Er Niang, Si Brother, Brother Nine—they are still the little guys in my belly."

Of course Gu Lun's forehead was dissatisfied: "Isn't it me?"

Princess Heming smiled faintly: "I want to help a group of fourth elder brothers, but I don't know that what my forehead valued was Princess Gu Lun's seat—or an elder brother who is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."

Fu Longan said seriously: "I am your husband!"

Princess He Ming sighed: "Whether the fourth brother will rebel, Huang Ama knows, the clan members know, the relatives and courtiers may not be clear, but the case must continue to be investigated to prove that the fourth brother is innocent. Regardless of guilt, there will always be a result of this matter, and it is inevitable to suppress the reputation of the fourth brother. The four presiding judges, Prince Kang pretended to be deaf and dumb, Prince Ping was both right and left, Prince Lu jumped up and down, and Ah Ma Zhan looks forward and backward, I understand Huang Ama's intentions, but I can't let the fourth brother bear the suspicion of treason, do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean—" Fu Longan understood a little, "put some effort on the three chief judges?"

Princess Heming asked back: "Is it not possible?"

Fu Long'an pondered for a moment and said: "Ping Jun Wang is the most respected by Huang Ama, so he naturally understands Huang Ama's thoughts, it is impossible to favor the prince of the clan at this time, Ama and the prince of the clan have always been close, Prince Kang - we can only find He tried it."

Princess Heming shook her head: "You also said that Prince Ping is the most likely to win Huang Ama's trust."

Fu Longan was very at a loss: "But—"

Princess He Ming rubbed his lower abdomen: "You might as well give it a try!"

The author has something to say: I had a disagreement with a female colleague at work today, and we discussed it in a calm tone. I don’t think it’s my fault, and she doesn’t think she’s responsible either. The tone of each other is very peaceful, without any excitement She didn't show any obvious emotions when she left, and then she went back to her office, and after a while, she cried, and I became a villain who bullied my female colleagues and cried without realizing it!Her department leader directly approached my department leader Xingshi to question the crime. I didn't know that I had made such a big mistake until my department leader asked. I was wrong, and the other party readily accepted it, and said that I was just crying! ——It may not be that this kind of plot does not appear in my own novels, but when I actually encounter it, I am quite powerless!Readers should have girls, can you teach me, what should I do next time I encounter this kind of thing?Could it be that as long as the woman cries, even if I think I'm right, I have to admit it quickly, otherwise my reputation will be ruined! (Like this time, no one cares who we are right and who is wrong, only know that I made my female colleague cry in anger) Waiting online, thank you guys!
